"Another 11 cars confiscated from drunk drivers will be handed over to Ukraine free of charge," the statement reads.

It is noted that out of every 100 confiscated cars, about 70 are sent to Ukraine.

Who will these cars be transferred to?

According to the government's decision, 11 cars will be handed over to the military administration of the city of Kherson, the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine, the Arbuzyn village council of the Mykolaiv region, the Military Medical Academy of Ukraine and the State Border Service of Ukraine.

The confiscated cars include a 2001 Mercedes Benz, a 535 BMW 2006, a 3 Mazda 2007 and a 60 Volvo XC2009. The total approximate cost of these 11 cars is about 40 euros.

How many cars did Ukraine receive from Latvia?

Inara Solosteya reported that since March of this year, the government has already decided to hand over 151 cars to Ukraine.

Of them, 117 were transferred to the Agendum company, which ensures the delivery of cars to Ukraine and their transfer to Ukrainian state institutions, covering all related costs. If necessary, the company also carries out technical improvements of cars.

Agendum Society receives requests for assistance from various government agencies of Ukraine regarding the need for vehicles.

Transfer of cars from drunken drivers by Latvia
We will remind you that on February 16, 2023, the Latvian government amended the law "On the support of the civilian population in Ukraine". State-owned vehicles can now be transferred free of charge to Ukraine to prevent the consequences of a war-related emergency.

The first eight cars confiscated from drunk drivers were handed over to Ukraine already in March — less than a month after the decision was made.

It was recently reported that Latvia has already handed over 66 cars that were taken from drunken drivers to Ukraine.
